An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Mildred Harris was an actress mostly from 1914 to 1930. She started in movies at the age of 12, and she became quite successful in the late 1910s. She married Charlie Chaplin in 1918, when she was 17 and he was 29. They had a baby, but it was born with many birth defects and only lived three days. She made a few movies while they were married, where she was billed as "Mildred Harris Chaplin", but their marriage only lasted three years. She next had an affair with the Prince of Wales, and after that ended, she introduced him to Wallis Simpson, leading to their legendary romance. Part of her success was that she looked like an innocent young girl (and that surely was part of Charlie Chaplin's attraction to her), and she was once nicknamed "Innocent Mildred Harris". But when sound movies began (and she aged), her career severely declined. She passed away in 1944, following an unsuccessful operation, and she was only 42. Important Added Info: Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
